    This comparison really highlights the intense competition and pressure in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. It feels quite suffocating.

      Not sure what's being compared here...

        I've lived in Nanjing for years and haven't found the roads to be particularly bad.

          I agree that the roads near Confucius Temple and Hanzhong Gate aren't great. I wouldn't say Xinjiekou is bad, but the road from Xinjiekou to Changfu Street Exit 4 is pretty rough.

            I won't comment on the rest, but why do you assume most of the beautiful women in Nanjing are not locals? Did you check their IDs?

              The majority of people who climb on cultural relics are probably tourists. Why blame Nanjing?

                At the special exhibition hall of the Nanjing Museum, I saw parents taking photos of their kids climbing on the sculptures on the first floor. I was really speechless 😅

                  It feels like you have a strong bias against Nanjing. Even as someone from Zhejiang, I think your comments are quite deliberate. I've lived in Nanjing for a few years and found it to be a great place.

                    Take these kinds of comparisons with a grain of salt.

                      The tea shop at Ji Ming Temple is outside, and the prices aren't that high.

                        It's actually inside, on the same level as the tower. I just went there, so I'm sure of it.

                          Let me explain the traffic lights: Nanjing is one of the few cities in China that has large countdown numbers. As a local, I find it difficult to adjust to places without them when I travel.

                            I'm not sure if all cities have countdowns, but the large numbers are definitely unique to Nanjing.

                              Two egg hamburgers for 9.9 RMB, how is that expensive?

                                One costs 18 RMB. You clearly didn't buy any.

                                  The author is pretty objective. No need to be sarcastic.
